To request permission, contact us through the website.


Caregiver Tools and Downloadable Materials

Our downloadable tools are general organizational and educational resources. They may help people record observations, prepare questions, organize information, or communicate with professionals.

They are not official medical records, legal forms, court documents, clinical assessments, diagnostic instruments, government forms, or substitutes for documentation required by a healthcare provider, attorney, agency, employer, insurer, or court.

You are responsible for:

  • Deciding whether a tool is appropriate for your situation

  • Checking whether an agency or professional requires a different form

  • Confirming the accuracy of information you record

  • Protecting completed forms that contain sensitive information

  • Deciding who may access completed documents

  • Keeping independent copies of important records

Yelloux Cove does not receive information that you write into a downloaded file on your own device unless you intentionally submit that information to us.


Accuracy and Changing Information

We work to provide thoughtful and useful information. However, laws, policies, healthcare practices, public-benefit rules, organizational procedures, technology, product information, and outside resources may change.

We do not guarantee that every page will always be:

  • Complete

  • Current

  • Error-free

  • Available

  • Appropriate for every jurisdiction

  • Suitable for every individual or family

  • Accepted by a particular agency or professional

Publication dates and update dates should be considered when reviewing website information.

You are responsible for confirming time-sensitive or case-specific information with an appropriate official source or qualified professional.


Lived Experience and Personal Perspectives

Some Yelloux Cove content reflects personal experience, family caregiving experience, commentary, opinion, spiritual reflection, or individual interpretation.

A personal experience is not a promise that another person will have the same experience or outcome.

Opinions expressed by guest contributors, interview participants, commenters, or quoted sources belong to those individuals and do not necessarily represent the position of Yelloux Cove or Yelloux Cove Foundation.


Public Comments and Submissions

The website may allow comments, testimonials, surveys, guest submissions, or other public contributions.

Do not submit confidential medical records, private identifying information, financial information, account credentials, or information that violates another person’s privacy.

You are responsible for content you submit.

By intentionally submitting content for public display, you grant us a nonexclusive, worldwide, royalty-free license to review, reproduce, format, publish, display, and distribute that submission in connection with the website and its promotion.

This public-content license does not apply to private messages submitted through a contact form unless you separately give us permission to publish them.

You represent that:

  • You own or have permission to submit the content

  • The content is accurate to the best of your knowledge

  • Publishing it will not violate another person’s rights

  • It does not contain unlawful, defamatory, threatening, or deceptive material

We may moderate, refuse, edit, or remove submissions at our discretion.

Submission does not guarantee publication, compensation, a response, or an ongoing relationship.


Testimonials and Individual Results

Testimonials, personal stories, or quoted experiences represent the experiences of the individuals who provided them.

They do not guarantee that another person will receive the same results.

Caregiving, healthcare, disability, employment, legal, financial, and public-system outcomes depend on many factors outside our control.


External Websites and Third-Party Resources

The website may link to government agencies, nonprofit organizations, healthcare resources, news publications, retailers, books, products, videos, social platforms, or other external websites.

A link does not necessarily mean that Yelloux Cove:

  • Controls the outside website

  • Guarantees its accuracy

  • Endorses every statement it contains

  • Guarantees its availability or security

  • Accepts responsibility for its products or services

  • Has an ongoing partnership with the organization

Third-party websites operate under their own terms and privacy practices. You are responsible for reviewing those policies before using an outside service or providing personal information.


Product Mentions, Reviews, and Affiliate Links

Yelloux Cove may discuss or recommend books, products, tools, services, or organizations that we believe may interest our readers.

Some links may be affiliate or compensated links. When a material relationship exists, we will provide an appropriate disclosure near the relevant content.

An affiliate relationship means Yelloux Cove may receive a commission or other benefit when someone completes a qualifying purchase or action through a link, potentially without increasing the buyer’s price.

A product mention does not guarantee:

  • Availability

  • Price

  • Quality

  • Safety

  • Suitability

  • Results

  • Compatibility with a medical condition or disability

You are responsible for reviewing product information and deciding whether a purchase is appropriate.


Foundation Information and Services

The website contains information about Yelloux Cove Foundation, its mission, proposed or active programs, educational resources, and community goals.

Descriptions of a program do not guarantee that:

  • The program is currently accepting participants

  • Assistance is available in every location

  • A person will qualify for support

  • Funding is available

  • Individual advocacy or representation will be provided

  • A particular outcome will be achieved

Unless expressly stated otherwise, submitting a form does not establish a client, beneficiary, patient, or case-management relationship with Yelloux Cove Foundation.


Donations and Payments

Yelloux Cove Foundation does not currently collect payment-card or banking information through ordinary website contact forms.

If donation, payment, membership, event-registration, or fundraising features are added, additional terms may apply. Transactions may be handled by an independent payment processor or fundraising platform.

Do not submit payment-card or banking information through a general contact form or ordinary email.

A donation does not purchase control over the Foundation, its editorial decisions, programs, beneficiaries, or advocacy priorities.

Any statement concerning tax deductibility is general information. Donors are responsible for consulting their own tax advisers regarding their individual circumstances.


Privacy

Our collection and use of personal information are described in our Privacy Policy.

By using this website, you acknowledge that internet transmissions and ordinary email cannot be guaranteed to be completely secure.

Please avoid submitting highly sensitive information through general website forms.

Changes to These Terms

We may revise these Terms as the website, Foundation, programs, or legal requirements change.

The revised version will be posted on this page with a new “Last Updated” date.

Your continued use of the website after updated Terms are posted means that the updated Terms apply to your later use.


Governing Law

These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of California, without regard to conflict-of-law principles, except where another law must apply.


Severability

If a court determines that part of these Terms is invalid or unenforceable, the remaining provisions will continue to apply to the fullest extent permitted by law.


No Waiver

Our failure to enforce a provision of these Terms does not waive our right to enforce that provision later.


Entire Agreement

These Terms, together with the Privacy Policy and Disclaimer, represent the general agreement governing use of this website.

Additional written terms may apply to a particular program, event, service, submission, donation, or transaction.
